I just realized that New Judge Dredd and New Bones are both Karl.

Weiiiiird.

 

[childplease]

His name is deceiving.

I was totally expecting a black guy.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

a respected police officer who has shut down emotionally

hahaha Urban is born to play this role. I'm surprised he didn't snag the role of robot actually.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Robo-cop 4: Robo-cops.


So he's going to be Robo-Riggs, who is going to play Mecha-Murtaugh?

 

[Discotheque]

fuuck. instead of a emotional ass robot i wish he was discontinued because he was so wacky and liked to make jokes. sure it would also be cliche but at least we could get some good buddy cop humor from it.

but what do i know, maybe the series will be funny too.

 

[Mike Works]

So was that a really cut up version of Supremacy by Muse, or a really blatant ripoff?

 

[alba]

First I hear about this, I like. I sure hope it won't disappoint! (a lot of JJ shows are either awesome or terrible, there is no middle point).

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

OH MY GOD.

THE BRITISH DUDE IS THE DUDE FROM PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

 

[PhoncipleBone]

OH MY GOD.

THE BRITISH DUDE IS THE DUDE FROM PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

I think you mean from The Office.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I think you mean from The Office.

OH MY GOD

 

[JoeInky]

He's in Game of Thrones as well, can't think of anything else notable I've seen him in.

 

[Evolution_1ne]

Calling it series finale, he's still in a coma

 

[Hindle]

That looks pretty good. Fox being involved doesn't give me much hope it will stay around though.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Looks cool. Is there a premier date for this?

 

[Acheteedo]

Unbelievable.

 

[shira]

Looks like I, Robot with white guy and black robot.

 

[Tunesmith]

what am i remembering him from, wasnt he on a buddy cop show recently??

He was in a great 2-season Showtime series a number of years back, Sleeper Cell.

 

[rakhir]

Minka Kelly is going to give another lesson in wooden acting? Awesome.

She is really easy on the eyes, though.

Main roles should be switched, though, and Urban should just play a robot version of Dredd.

 

[mil6es]

For all you oldies out there (I mean 80's baby's) this has already been done with Total Recall 2070 the series.

 

[Ushae]

Holy shit this could be very good, keeping my eyes on this one. Karl Urban is a great actor.

 

[a secret-boss]

that voice is so DREDD

 

[Silent_Bomber]

What did Urban bring to the role? He delivered monotone lines and did not emote. The director is responsible for it not being a Stallone retread.

I have to admit I was missing Urban in this scene -

Chin, voice, and body language make a difference

 

[Tom_Cody]

Watched the trailer last night. Seems like an extraordinarily convoluted premise. Will watch for Karl Urban though.

 

[awilliams213]

As a GITS fan this show pleases me. Visually it reminds me a lot of Fringe hoping for a larger overall conspiracy with that classic J.J twist.

 

[Wiktor]

I loved when he threw that robot out.
And I have no clue why people are suggesting the roles should be switched. The whole point of it is that the robot acts far more human than his human partner

 

[Qvoth]

just saw the trailer, wow that sure looks really good

but how long can this last? i mean karl's salary has got to be really high compared to normal tv stars

 

[Fare Godmace]

So was that a really cut up version of Supremacy by Muse, or a really blatant ripoff?

Holy fucking shit. It's the most blalant ripoff I've ever heard (besides sampling stealing, like will.i.am).

It's definitely not Supremacy, and the final part sounds exactly like slightly reworked version.

EDIT: It could be a cover, I guess... But it's just too close to the original.

 

[andycapps]

This looks incredible.

 

[fallengorn]

Trailer looks good, but the title, Almost Human. Blarrrgh.

 

[Princess Carl]

Trailer has me impressed. But I am afraid this will turn out like another Terriers.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

An idea too good for this world.

[Extra Sauce]

Yeah, like we haven't seen that before

That ain't no robot, it's a cyborg.

Named cyborg.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

So, about that Dredd sequel???

 

[JDSN]

It almost looks like a Funny or Die parody trailer, something about the lighting that looks odd.

 

[Burger]

You guys are all smoking crack while stroking your Urban boners.

I almost cracked up laughing several times while watching that. Looks like a whole lot of cash to make a cheesy ass CSI FUTUR. They couldn't have crammed more tropes into that trailer if they tried.

 

[maquiladora]

TRAILER'S UP!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WCdHiZsSPjg

Looks pretty awesome. Karl Urban's gonna kill this.

Wow that actually looks promising. Will watch.

 

[goomba]

Dudes career has come far away from his early days in the New Zealand soap "Shortand St"

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

So, about that Dredd sequel???

This is a prequel.

Also, it'll be a comic book, the sequel.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

This is a prequel.

Also, it'll be a comic book, the sequel.

I can live with both of those. When can we expect the comic?

This looks pretty good too, great trailer.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Looks good. I was in for Urban and since Wyman is producing, I have high hopes.

 

[Tom_Cody]

The cast:

Their are a bunch more promo pics circulating around the web but I am too lazy to post them.

Spoiler

Urban is tall.

...yeah Urban is a badass.

 

[Dysun]

Robot dude was good on that Showtime series Sleeper Cell

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Urban is one of the most underrated actors out there. Really hope this show will be a success for him.

Jim Caviezel's a great actor, but he had relatively little work for a long stretch a few years ago before getting a hit with Person of Interest. Hope that Urban attains similar success with this.

 

[Vandiger]

Doesn't scream exciting or new to me . FX and other cable networks and raised up the bar on whats good content

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Oh hey this show will probably be shot in Vancouver:

http://blogs.theprovince.com/2013/0...j-abrams-pilot-almost-human-picked-up-by-fox/

The Fox network has announced that it’s going to series with Almost Human, the J.J.-Abrams-J.H. Wyman pilot that filmed in Vancouver earlier this spring.

Karl Urban stars in the show as a cop in the near future, partnered with a highly evolved android (Michael Ealy). Lili Taylor also stars. While the pilot filmed here earlier this spring, industry sources say a decision on whether to shoot the series in Los Angeles or Vancouver won’t be made until mid-month.

But odds for a Vancouver shoot are good, with both producer Abrams and show creator Wyman having a history with the city that includes the long run of their recently ended Fringe, and Abrams’ series Alcatraz.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Watched the trailer earlier, looks cool.

Hopefully it lasts for longer than a season...

Probably will. Firefly was a long time ago. Plus, Fox gave Fringe a great run despite dismal viewership.

 

[Extra Sauce]

This show is set in the near future? Bitch please, self-aware and perfectly human-looking robots are a long way off.
